AMD 290 (non-x) vs Watercooled 7970 - 3DMark Result

Thanks to 'primouf'

He did some 290 3dmark runs here : http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1515052

So, (left) Primouf's Stock 290 (non-x) @ 947/1250 vs (right) My Watercooled 7970 @ 1360/1860

The result indicates that the 290 is one hell of a card out of the box !

Your 7970 at 1360 is flipping blazing.

Yeah, she is definitely a screamer, what's more impressive is that the 290 does all that, out of the box, heaven knows what they are going to do underwater. A 40% overclock over stock implies a 14k graphics score.

Heaven 4.0

You should have reduced your res to his, and he should be running in full screen mode.

Besty · 30 Oct 2013 at 21:08

I only noticed after I pasted the screenshot, I have asked him to re-run.

Cool

It might be worth going through the settings with him, as he said in the other thread that he had never used heaven before.

i will redo a good bench of Heaven 4.0 and post it here soon.

Martini1991 · 30 Oct 2013 at 21:21

How far can you overclock it Primouf?

If an R290 can do 1.2GHZ it'd be interesting.

Crezzlin · 30 Oct 2013 at 21:23

What does the X stand for anyway? Ta

primouf · 30 Oct 2013 at 22:38

290 @ stock (947/1250) Heaven 4.0 preset extreme + 1920x1080

290 @ 1003/1250) Heaven 4.0 preset extreme + 1920x1080

Looking good. Hopefully the price is right though and it doesn't run as hot as the 290X (we can dream!

).

primouf · 30 Oct 2013 at 23:29

Wow...

just to say i've hit the 1100mhz mark with my 290 947mhz

ventilation @ 55% for 62°c ( abit noisy but can bring it down as i am only getting 62° )

getting 10k on firestrike aswell

screenshots soon !

primouf · 30 Oct 2013 at 23:59

overclocks nice i think

Martini1991 · 31 Oct 2013 at 00:02

Looks like 94c to me.

primouf · 31 Oct 2013 at 00:10

that was the max during other tests and games with lower fan speed ( i did not close afterburner )

and if it really did go to 94°C during my last test then you wouldn't see 42°C right afterwards... as it takes a **** load of time to get back down in temp.

That score in 3DMark is pretty damned impressive for those clocks. This card could be a beast and surpass its bigger brother in quite a few scenarios (Like the 780 does the Titan).

Thanks for sharing these bench score Primouf

Boomstick777 · 31 Oct 2013 at 06:49

Very nice scores their.

Yaayuh! · 31 Oct 2013 at 07:28

Interesting! This 290 is looking to be one hell of a card (so long as the price is right of course).

Just quoting this here from the other thread.

Stock Titan speeds for £450? (+ 350 + 100 for the block).
